Month: December 2010

(I’ll keep this one short and light, I promise. And there’s a joke at the end.)

I don’t know, maybe I’m crazy but… When someone says to me “Happy Holidays”, I don’t assume they are trying to insult my faith. I don’t think they are pushing some kind of liberal atheist agenda. I don’t believe they are trying to tear down the fabric of western society. I just think it’s a friendly greeting, and they are just trying to be nice.

By the same token…

I may be crazy but… When someone says to me “Merry Christmas”, I don’t believe they are trying to push their right-wing Christian agenda on me. I don’t think they are intolerant of other faiths, or are xenophobic, or that they hate the Jews. I just think it’s a friendly greeting, and they are just trying to be nice.

On the other hand…

When someone says to me “Seasons Greetings”, I think of this little cartoon I saw where these little bottles of garlic, parsley, and oregano were all saying “hi” to each other. And that makes me smile.
